Pacers final score: Celtics edge Pacers in OT 142-138

The Indiana Pacers lost in the most fitting way possible, failing to pull in two offensive rebounds in the waning seconds of overtime, losing a thrilling game to the Boston Celtics. Andrew Nembhard defended Jayson Tatum well at the three point line, forcing Tatum into an airball that sailed wide right.

The shot landed in Marcus Smart’s hands, giving him just enough time to get up a putback before the shot clock expired, hitting the rim. Nembhard had run himself out of the play on the block attempt, giving Tatum free range to the basket, following the miss perfectly for the dagger layup.
